The author whose book you are holding in your hands is a doctor, so it seems quite natural that the heroes of many of his works, on behalf of whom the story is told, are doctors. An excellent professional, he knows what he is writing about and does it more than convincingly. Rostov writer Veniamin Kisilevsky is known to a wide range of readers as the author of more than two dozen prose books, nine of which are for children, he is the winner of several literary awards, and was elected Person of the Year in the “writer” category (2008). But he was a child for a long time, and he was never a woman at all, nevertheless, you believe him when he speaks on behalf of women and children. And even animals. He never sins against the authenticity of the situations described and the characters of his characters. At the same time, this serious and middle-aged man loves to play like a child. The plots of his stories are always entertaining, and their endings are difficult to predict. Its heroes live in our difficult world and experience personal dramas, which often become a consequence of dramatic events in society. And these heroes are far from clear-cut people; they are complex and contradictory natures; often the reader will have to work on co-creation and empathy. But this is exactly what we all expect from real literature, and you can see this in the process of reading, which will give you real pleasure.
